ADA Accessibility Audit for Real Estate Brokerages

On top of many brokers getting legal demand letters for their sites not being in compliance with ADA and Fair Housing, it’s just good business to have a real estate brokerage website that’s usable by those with disabilities. An ADA Accessibility Audit of your real estate brokerage website can help you understand if you’re meeting the requirements.

Consider that at some point in their lives over 10% of website visitors will need an accessibility setting turned on their computers. And according to the US Census Bureau, 57 million Americans have some sort of disability.

Consider that over 90% of people start their home search online today. That means that a set of your website visitors are likely disabled and need some sort of accommodation in using your website.

The help they need can range from as simple as increasing the text size to be able to read better.  It can be having higher contrast between the text and background.  It might be needing screen readers for blind people which require text on the page and Alt tags to be entered for all images. It also could be allowing people to use the site without needing a mouse.

  • Does your website blow up when you try to increase the text size?
  • Is your website discernible when contrast settings are increased?
  • Is the text on your website readable by screen readers or braille readers?
  • Do all of your images have Alt tags?
  • Can you use forms on your website without the need to use a mouse?

Please complete the form below to get an accessibility audit of your website. We’ll check for the major items needed for accessibility by following the WCAG 2.1 standard.

You can then provide the report to your brokerage website vendor, or speak to our team about an upgrading your site.
